Ein may need surgery

Ein had to go to the doggy emergency room this weekend. He coudln't keep down food or water and started refusing to eat or drink anything. Xrays didn't show a blockage, but they did show alot of air pockets in his intestines which makes them think that he may still have a partial blockage somewhere.

We didn't have enough money to pay for the surgery up front, so we brought him home after several hours of fluids and another set of xrays. At the moment, he seems to be able to keep down chicken and plain rice, but still has not gone potty. He has an appt on Wednesday with a vet that the chairperson at the local PWCC recomended we call (I called to ask if they knew about any vets that might agree to a payment plan). If the vet agrees that exploratory surgery is our best option, it will be done on Wednesday afternoon.

Ein could sure use some "get well without surgery" vibes if you've got any to spare.

I really wish Ein the best with or without surgery! I also wish him a speedy recovery. I really hope that u can set up a payment plan too, if surgery is what he needs. Maybe u an set up a donate to EIn fund here in mycorgi.com to get some help....

Best wishes to you and Ein,

From Bonni and Faye

This happened to my 24 LB Manx kitty Angus, and after having IVs and being in the emergency vet for a little over 48 hrs Angus had air pockets, but no sign of any blockage. The vet wanted to do exploratory surgery, but we opted for a second then third opinion and were told to wait it out to see if it was needed. He ended up being just fine, no surgery. Angus is now 3 and ½ years old. Here is hoping for you and Ein.
